Current Release: v0.4.0 - The one with the manual saving

Release date: 26 November 2025

Important:

  • If you are very attached to your presets, please back them up before upgrading!

Binary:

How to install:

  • Download the binary above
  • Follow the firmware installation instructions on the official website
  • If you're updating from an older firmware version, it might be necessary to rename the file to CURRENT.UF2 before installing

Please report any bugs as a github issue or in the #bug-reports channel of the Plinky discord, so I can fix them

Release v0.4.0 highlights

  • The currently active preset and pattern are no longer automatically saved
  • The load UI screen has been redesigned to make better use of the entire display
  • In the load UI, one of the brightly lit pads (selected preset, pattern or sample) softly pulses. This indicates that this item will get cleared when long-pressing the Clear-pad
  • The load UI now works as follows:
    • Short press
      • Select this section to be cleared with the Clear pad
    • Long press (arrow at the right edge of the screen points up)
      • Load the pressed preset
      • Load the pressed pattern
      • Load/deactivate the pressed sample
    • Hold the Load-pad + long-press (arrow at the right edge of the screen points down)
      • Save current preset to selected slot
      • Save current pattern to selected slot
      • Open pressed sample in sample editor

There are many more improvements in this version, the full list can be found in the release notes
